Formula E so far
Sette Camara stepped into Formula E with Dragon, entering the Berlin finale of the 2019/20 season to replace Brendon Hartley.
He then chose to stay with Dragon for the next two seasons finishing P22 in season seven and P20 in season eight.
Despite having limited machinery Sette Camara still made the best of season eight seeing himself through to the duel stages multiple times.
The Brazilian driver also proved a strong contender during Round 13 of the London E-Prix, running in the podium positions. This however was cut short due to a systems issue that left him unable to finish the race.
